Streamlabs Multistream
Streamlabs Multistream sends one live broadcast to multiple destinations, with Streamlabs servers splitting the incoming stream into separate feeds. This cloud processing avoids requiring extra upload bandwidth for each destination. Listed destinations include Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Kick, Facebook, Instagram, Patreon, X, and custom RTMP endpoints. Dual Output provides horizontal and vertical canvases, with one destination per canvas available for free. Multichat can read and post comments on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook Pages; it can read chat on Kick, X, and Facebook Profiles. Creators can customize titles and descriptions for each platform and set layout and resolution for each Dual Output canvas. The service works with Streamlabs Desktop, the OBS Plugin with Ultra, the mobile app, or other streaming software configured through the Dashboard and RTMP credentials. Stream Shift lets a creator move a stream between a PC and a mobile device or another computer without ending it. A free plan is available; paid access starts at $15.75/mo billed annually. Supported platforms are web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
